ALL who dwell in the Earth belong to the Lord. That’s all living things! To me, that is just extraordinary to consider. Psalm 24:3-4, “Who…may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart.” The bible often references, “clean hands” and we sing about it in worship music. Today IContinue reading “Psalm 24”

Psalm 23
There are some super famous verses in this Psalm. Psalm 23: 1-2, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures.” Our culture is so out of touch with shepherding that I must pause and really think about what David is saying and the impact itContinue reading “Psalm 23”
Psalm 19-20
Psalm 19:9-10, “…The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold…” David repeats the idea that God’s judgements are much more desired than gold. It’s so important that he repeated it. We should desire the Lord’s judgements more than we desireContinue reading “Psalm 19-20”
Psalm 18
David attributes everything to God in verses 1-2: strength, fortress, deliverer, trust, shield, salvation, and stronghold. Then, in verses 31-34 David describes that God, “makes my way perfect, He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war so that my armsContinue reading “Psalm 18”
Psalm 10
Even though David is king and could try and serve justice- he begs God to do it. He pleads with God to take control and defend the humble and weak people against the wicked and corrupt. This tells me that we don’t have to try and take matters into our own hands- God is aContinue reading “Psalm 10”
Psalm 5
Psalm 5:3, “My voice, you shall hear in the morning, O Lord, in the morning I will direct it to you and I will look up.” It is so important to spend our mornings with the Lord. He is our everything, He sustained us through the night and provides for us each day. Good morning,Continue reading “Psalm 5”
Psalm 4
Before reading Psalms, I didn’t really think I was able to relate to King David. I’ve never been a king, I’ve never had to hide from my enemies in the desert before, and I don’t really write poetry. But, to my surprise, I’m relating to him so much. All those years that I had troubleContinue reading “Psalm 4”
Psalm 3
Psalm 3:3, “My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” We will all experience times of trouble and a heavy head/heart but God is our glory. God is the reason we lift our voices and sing and He is the one who pulls us out of our slumps. Verse 4 says David criedContinue reading “Psalm 3”
Psalm 2
Here’s the drawing I created for Psalm 2. If there’s one verse that stood out to me it’s this, “Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice in trembling” (verse 11). Even though the Lord loves us soooo incredibly much, we must never forget WHO He is and His status over all. I pray that IContinue reading “Psalm 2”
Psalm 1
I was feeling a little unenthused about starting the book of Psalms. I’m not a fan of poetry and Job was a poetic book as well so I was feeling “over it.” However, I prayed that the Lord restore in me a joy for reading His word every morning and spending time with Him. WhileContinue reading “Psalm 1”
